Around About By Justine Weatlwrford As I drove over the Snoqualmie Pass last Thursday, I had to have the windshield wipers going at top speed Just to see the roadway. What a shower hit that area between Cle Elum and the north Pacific shore. I kept wondering if Heppner was sharing some of the rain knowing that those completing hr-vt or beginning harvesting or maybe right in the middle would really hate the downpour. Now many here are hoping that the rain, which will strike apln one of these days, Isn't waiting to dampen the County Fair or the big Saturday parade and rodeo performances. My fourth 1983 visit to Yakima, Wash, as I returned my grandsons Adam and Thomas to their moms last week, exposed me to a new feature of that amazing agricultural valley. I went with daughter Karla out to a large "You dig, you pick" garden along the river where folks were busily digging carrots and beets and picking tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The farmer offered several varieties of melons his workers had picked. When we arrived he had already sold all of that day's picking of corn. Many people from apartments and city homes are finding that they can have very fresh produce at reasonable prices along with an earthy experience at this farm. The Yakima Valley has such a mixture of peoples working on Its fertile acres. The native American Indian population is very significant. Whites own much of the fertile acreage which has in recent years, gone from hops to grapes. There are large clusters of Mexican families there and groups of Black Americans and a growing number of Asians who have come to help with work in the fields, orchards and vineyards. Last Saturday night when I went to close the laundromat, I chanced to visit with Ron Christopherson who has come back to Morrow County after being a way 11 years. He and his wife Bonnie (Miller) and their sons, Keith, 10, and Cody, 14 months, are now living on Cowins St. Ron is working with Earl Struckmeier. Ron was graduated from lone High School and Bonnie from Heppner. While they were away from here, they lived In Texas, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, Texas a second time and Colorado, Ron said. Bonnie's parents have returned to Morrow Co. also. Mr. Miller and Ron had some experience working in oil fields during the years. Ron told me that oil companies have recently started several producing wells in the Yakima area. We remarked that if oil is found in this county, our area could change considerably. After an afternoon and night in Yakima, I drove alone to' Port Orchard. Wash, where I had a pleasant two-night stay with my older son, Ross, and his wife, Alice. They took me out sight swing much of Friday. Our principal stop was at Port Gamble on a point extending out Into Hood Canal. This is America's oldest continuously operating forest products community. The whole town is a National Historic Site. Its beautifully maintained Victorian homes are still being occupied by Pope and Talbot Lumber Company workers. One of these, the Thompson House, built in 1859, is the oldest continuously occupied house in the state of Washington. We three spent much of the afternoon visiting the Sea and Shore Museum and the Pope and Talbot Historic Museum. The smaller museum displays a fabulous collection of shells from the seas of the world, but mainly from the north Pacific. The lumber museum contains a great look into the development of the Pope and Talbot company and the community it owns. Admission to the Sea and Shore Museum is free. It is upstairs in the town's General Store. There is a 12 fee to go through the historic museum which is housed under the store building. After leaving Port Gamble we drove along Olympic View Drive and had a perfect view of the majestic Olympic Range in the lovely afternoon sunshine. Returning to Port Orchard, we came through Bremerton, Wash, just as the day-chift workers were leaving the huge shipyardwhat a traffic jam. That night, after a fine fish dinner, we attended the amusing play "Miss Reardon Drinks a Little" in the Bay Street Playhouse where the Performing Arts Guild of South Kitsap again is presenting an excellent production on the four Friday and Saturday nights of August. The Port Orchard and Bremerton papers gave this play high praise, and its audiences are being delighted by it. Although the community theater group's work Isn't at all comparable to the Ashland Shakespearean offerings, it was the only live theater I've seen since a B.M.C.C. play last spring. By now I've heard from Jane Rawlins and Marty Baker that the Heppner High lour to Ashland last week was again a very pleasing experience., Saturday I made a lonesome, warm drive home down highways 1-5, 205, and then east on 1-84. Coming southward on 1-5, 1 got several looks at Mt. St. Helens' cratered top with a high white plume of something-vapor? ash? -rising from from it. As I made my first crossing of the new 1-205 bridge east of Vancouver, Wash., I got a tremendous, full-length view of Oregon's own Mt. Hood from the center of the span. Although there were thousands of vehicles traveling last weekend, I only happened upon one accident on the bridge where the Deschutes River enters the Columbia. It as a one-car accident. The new car was crushed up on the bridge guardrail and a woman driver was stretched out on a mat beside it being given attention by several persons. We passing drivers were waved ahead. A few miniutes after I entered my Heppner kitchen, Mary Goheen phoned to tell me she had seen so many fascinating sights on her recent travels that she is already contemplating returning to see more of the wonders of Greece. On Sunday after church I joined the substantial group of workers at the County Fairgrounds where preparations are underway for next week's fair, The congregation from St. Patrick's Church had a picnic dinner on the grounds about the same tune that ttie fairboard and workers were enjoying their politick. My home seems quiet this week without any grandchild ren. Now I shall finish the little remaining gift of Morrow County honey alone, a lovely comb which Tom Rawlins' bees produced. It is such a light-colored, mild-flavored honey. . . great on toast. In ancient times, having honey was considered a mark of great wealth. One of the strange facts I read about honey is that the early Egyptians are believed to have used it In embalming. Wow August is more than half over and Labor Day weekend is only two weeks away. Well, here's hoping that our county has a real honey of a Fair and Rodeo. Ye Olde Head Shed Hair Styles for Men, Women & Children Call Glenna Anytime 422-7545 EE The Heppner Gaiette-Tlmes, Heppner.
